I was a homebody growing up.
My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice.
I feel like I've lived about three or four different lives.
Music is my home.
I like to have songs with me that have substance. That's missing from a lot of today's music. You might hear a song with a catchy beat, but what's it about? It's not empowering or helping anyone.
I cook all my meals at home.
I don't believe in overdoing myself.
I try to dress a little casual before my photo-shoots. I can be comfortable before I go into my... transition.
I didn't even know I was considered plus-size until I was on the red carpet here in L.A. one day and a lady said, 'How do you feel about being a plus-sized girl in Hollywood?' I was like, 'What's she talking about?'
Chocolate is what I love. I have it every day.
When you're shopping you forget about eating!
I hope that when I'm 80 years old, people will still be talking about my wedding.
To me, the biggest notes and the longest notes are the easiest notes.
I slept with my mom until I was 16 years old.
I try to do everything to say, 'OK, will my mother like this? Will she be pleased? Will she be proud of that? How do I know she's happy and she's smiling down at me from heaven?' And that's what I try to go by and walk by.
Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me.
When I'm acting I don't sing, and when I'm recording I'm not acting.
I'm just not a shoe girl.
'American Idol' has changed the face of television.
